Fallon Báeinach should be a nobody from a canal-side tavern in Tarelexo. Instead, she’s the half-Crow, half-Shabbin girl who wakes Lorcan Ríhbiadh—the legendary King of the Sky—from obsidian slumber. The Sky Kingdom rises. Old wounds flare. And a queenless Luce stares down two rulers: a feathered storm and a golden liar.
Between a mating bond she doesn’t want to admit, a mother bound by blood magic, and a city that vandalizes her home and spits her name, Fallon’s choices get harsher. Her found family fractures. Her real father—Crow general Cathal—turns fiercely protective. And Bronwen, the scarred seer tied to both Fae and Crows, drops a vision Fallon can’t swallow: to save Luce, she must kill Dante, the boy she once loved.
House of Pounding Hearts is a high-stakes, slow-burn fantasy romance about found family, curses, and the cost of freedom. Expect shapeshifters with iron talons, blood-bound witches, a ruthless resistance, and a heroine whose heart beats louder each time she’s told to be quiet.
